Jacob Wirth Company

Frommer's Review

In the heart of the Theater District, "Jake's" has been serving Bostonians since 1868 -- even before there were theaters here. The wood floor and brass accents give the room the feeling of a saloon, and the menu incorporates traditional pub grub and more contemporary fare. The hearty German specialties include Wiener schnitzel, mixed grills, bratwurst, knockwurst, and potato pancakes. Daily specials, comfort-food favorites like chicken pot pie, and a large variety of sandwiches and salads round out the menu. Service at lunchtime is snappy, but if you want to be on time for the theater, be ready to remind your server. On Friday after 8pm, a live pianist leads sing-along night, which has something of a chicken-and-egg relationship with the huge selection of beers on tap.
